With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Striped Black sighting in Banff National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 64th most-seen of the 105 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Striped Black in Banff National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Striped Black sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 9
Of the 9 parks where we can rate White-Striped Black sightings, Banff National Park ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Great Smoky Mountains National Park (United States, about 20%), Kluane National Park (Canada, about 20%) and Point Pelee National Park (Canada, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Striped Black is recorded against all the insects logged in Banff National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
